This app displays historical Martian weather from data collected by the Curiosity rover. The user enters/selects a date and clicks submit. The AJAX API request returns data in JSON format which is then parsed to populate the table.
There are some additional slides showing an animated image of the rover, and the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS), that take the weather readings and some additonal weather slides from the NASA/JPL websites. These are all on a carousel created using Bootstrap.
The Curiosity Rover landed on Mars in August of 2012. It has been gathering data since then. This app utilizes the MAAS2 API which returns JSON data, of weather measurements, based on an entered Martian sol date (with 08/06/2012 being sol 1 for this mission).
JavaScript must be enabled in the browser for this page to work.

- Looking to see if it's possible to create an interactive map, of the rover waypoints/sols, and let the user click the waypoint to get the weather at that location. Due to Same Origin Policy, I cannot directly interact with the iframe, of the NASA map, to get the sol based on location.
- Look at carousel slide image heights to reduce "jumping" when clicking the carousel buttons.
